As well, do any of who know people in those positions who are not teachers, and how are they treated in terms of money/vacation/housing/transportation? |

I am not a teacher (as my username would imply).
What is it you would like to know? |

I would say speaking of money and vacation time most writing/reporting jobs are not significantly competitive. It's also less likely you'll have a home provided by your employer. The main benefit is of course that you're not teaching. |

I'm a student first and foremost. I teach English (not in a hagwon or school) to pay tuition and outrageous weekend bar tabs. But I consider myself a student rather than a teacher. When I'm done school in November, I'll go back to teaching full time unless I stumble into a more lucrative job. |

I want to hear more of what you do. Especially the airline pilots. I heard they get at least 8-9 million won a month for a maximum of 70 hours of work a month. |
